Constraint programming (CP) systems are useful for
solving real-life combinatorial problems, such as scheduling,
planning, rostering and routing problems. The design
of modern CP systems has evolved from a monolithic to an
open design in order to meet the increasing demand for
application-specific customization. It is widely accepted
that a CP system needs to balance various design factors
such as efficiency versus customizability and flexibility versus
maintenance. This paper captures our experience with
using different software engineering approaches in the development
of constraint programming systems. These approaches
allow us to systematically investigate the different
factors that affect the performance of a CP system. In particular,
we review the application of reuse techniques, such
as toolkits, framework and patterns, to the design and implementation
of a finite-domain CP system.
